I help give your ideas life.
I specialise in curation, speaker coaching and pitch coaching. I work with companies, charities and individuals to give their projects life. The projects I have worked on range from high-impact specialised workshops to large conferences as well as working with novice speakers who need more input through to experienced keynote speakers who need focused coaching to a specific event.
How does it work ...
I work collaboratively with you to co-produce outstanding talks, content and events. I am as committed to my client’s businesses as employees, so I only take on projects that align with my personal mission of making the world a better place through storytelling. Amongst unbiased feedback, goal-oriented outcomes and creative solutions, I take an empathetic approach to equipping you with the skills you need to make your ideas have a lasting impact.
Coaching
One-to-one speaker coaching to help you craft a high-impact speech over a number of months. Typically, this would be paired with a specific goal or story in mind, for example an upcoming investor pitch, an AGM speech, a communications campaign or a TED style talk.
Workshops
Group workshops on pitching, storytelling, and impact presenting delivered in-person or online. These can be tailored to your audience and used as an internal training resource or offered externally to your clients, offering hands-on expert guidance to a select group.
Consultancy
In-house consultative support embedded within your organisation to help you with 360 speaker curation, coaching and briefings for your events. I work with you to align storytelling across your communications touchpoints, and build the presence of key speakers.
What makes me different?
My Approach.
I’m values driven.
I am as committed to my clients as employees and stakeholders are. I bring this attitude to all my work. I believe in the power of social impact storytelling, and I take a deep responsibility for the work I’m trying to help you embed. If we share the same values, I’m going to make sure you win.
I speak your language.
My background in psychology helps me to understand different kinds of people, tailor my delivery and work with very sensitive topics. Public speaking and storytelling can feel like a daunting task, so tailoring my guidance to your needs is a core part of my approach.
I believe in your voice.
I want you to realise the value of your voice. Not anyone else’s. I’ll never encourage you to speak like the person next to you. I believe that everyone can be a great storyteller, you just need to work out why it is you want to speak, authentic to you.
Progressive, reflective, inclusive.
Many leaders like working with me because I bring diversity and equity into their approach.
I curate speakers with gender and racial balance, and offer progressive, reflective, and inclusive strategic direction on organisation storytelling.
Which best describes you?
We all want the same thing – to be listened to, taken seriously and to have an impact. Depending on what you need, I typically help in one of three ways.
"I want to tell
better stories"
"I want my team to
understand the value
of their ideas"
"I want high impact
stories for my event"
You have a talk or a pitch where you need to stand out and wow your audience. You have the drive to work hard and dedicate time and energy into changing the way you deliver spoken word communication. Now it’s time to take it up a level.
You want to elevate the speaking skills of your team or organisation. Your team works hard, and now they deserve expertise and support to help them craft their ideas into stories that resonate, ultimately getting their ideas recognised. It’s time to support your team.
You are organising an event and need your speakers to be prepared and engaging. This isn’t about making all of your speakers the same, it’s about helping them each understand their unique power and message to bring to the stage, equipping them with tools and skills.
